The 8 Most Fashionable Super Bowl Jerseys [Pics]

American football teams make mostly make small variations to their jerseys, but there's no question that some jerseys end up looking better than others. In preparation for Super Bowl XLIX, let's take a look at the eight best jerseys in Super Bowl history.

1. Greenbay Packers, 1967

For the first Super Bowl, the Packers wore a very classic look. The jersey was dark green and gold, and it only featured white in the players's numbers. Unlike the team's current jerseys, the 1967 jersey had longer sleeves with a more detailed stripe pattern on the arm. The current jersey has one thick white stripe, but the 1967 look featured two thinner ones.

In the end the 1967 jersey ended up being an easier look to pull off. It didn't have a striped gold collar or V-neck as this year's jersey does.

2. New York Jets, 1969

The New York Jets were all about simplicity at Super Bowl III. The team wore mostly white jerseys with hunter green accents. Though the jerseys featured green numbers on the front of the shirt, the numbers on the players' arms were written in white. This is a detail that is still present in their current jerseys, but the look was better executed in 1969.

3. Dallas Cowboys, 1971

The Cowboys have been very consistent with their look throughout the years, making it one of the most iconic in the NFL. The navy, silver and white color combination and the star on the helmet is easily one of the most recognizable looks. Super Bowl V in 1971 was the first time the Cowboys were able to participate in the yearly competition.

4. Minnesota Vikings, 1975

The Minnesota Vikings wore white jerseys for their first two Super Bowl appearances. In 1975, the team wore purple for Super Bowl IX. Purple is not a very common color on NFL jerseys, making it stand out.

5. Miami Dolphins, 1985

The Miami Dolphins have more commonly worn aqua jerseys to the Super Bowl, making the 1985 shirts worn at Super Bowl XIX stand out in the team's history. (The team also wore white jerseys at Super Bowl VII in 1973.) The Dan Marino-led team wore a more streamlined look.

By contrast, the team's current jerseys feature the fairly new logo on the arm, doing away with stripes altogether. Their current jersey may look more modern, but it's also kind of repetitive, as the helmet already features the mascot.

6. New England Patriots, 2002

The New England Patriots jerseys were hugely upgrade between 1997 and 2002. The jerseys worn at Super Bowl XXXVI were more modern than the ones from Super Bowl XXXI. It used fewer colors, and the mostly blue jerseys have become a staple for the team.

7. New Orleans Saints, 2010

At Super Bowl XLIV, the Saints wore a very traditional look. The jersey features the fleur de lis on the sleeve, and neither the black, old gold or white overwhelm the shirt.

8. Seattle Seahawks, 2014

For Super Bowl XLVIII, the Seahawks went for white jerseys. It was a big change from the team's 2006 jerseys for Super Bowl XL. In 2006, the team wore dark shiny shirts. For 2014, they went for a more simplified look.

Super Bowl XLIX will take place at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona on Sunday, Feb. 1 at 6:30 p.m. Catch it on NBC.
